[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 165588, member: 2580"] GG & JE, I don't get Outdoor Channel or OLN anymore, but other than Jim Scouten's shooting program, I don't miss the rest. (I did enjoy seeing places I'll never get to go to, though) Even when they don't show the kill, you know the anti-hunters are pointing their fingers and making notes. How much worse are these "death squads"? I have never been on a guided hunt, but would enjoy it with a real guide, if I could afford it and if it really was a fair chase. A gang of "guides" with walkie-talkies is crap. The hunt is the thing, and if I don't earn a kill, I don't want it. Like a lot of Texans, JE and I hunt on a private ranch by leasing year round hunting rights, but there are big ranches that "day lease" or package hunts. I believe that they are mostly fair chase, but some offer "canned hunts" with a guaranteed shot. Either they have a lot of game, or it's not fair chase. In Texas, wild native game animals belong to the people of the state, not the land owner, and the Parks and Wildlife Dept is considering rules that would stop High-fence capture and harvesting of protected species, particularly whitetail deer. If adopted, I'm not smart enough to predict all the things it would change, but overall, I think it's the right thing to do. Tom [/QUOTE]
